In partnership with the Town of Avon, the Avon Historical Society is renovating the
201-year-old one-room schoolhouse, located at 8 E. Main St. (Route 44).

Set in Avon's original and historic center, the Avon History Museum will become a tourist attraction as well as a source of pride for the Avon community.

In order to raise the funds necessary for the interior exhibit curation, build and installation, the society’s brick paver fundraiser began one year ago.

Anyone can buy a paver of multiple sizes and have it personalized to memorialize a loved one, a family, an ancestor, a business, or themselves.
